A short planner for anything that takes your cat out of the house — packing lists, carrier prep, and a template for boarding instructions.
Anyone planning a trip, move, or boarding stay with their cat.
Travel Planner
Pack once, reuse every trip
A reusable checklist for road trips, vet visits, and boarding.
The packing list stays mostly the same whether it's a weekend boarding stay or a cross-country move — what changes is who else needs the details. Fill in the trip specifics once, and hand the boarding instructions to whoever's looking after your cat while you're away.
With the trip details and boarding instructions filled in, most of the last-minute scrambling that usually happens the morning of a trip is already done. Whoever ends up looking after your cat — a boarder, a friend, a pet sitter — now has everything in one place instead of a rushed phone call.
Keep this planner rather than starting fresh for the next trip — the packing checklist and carrier comfort list barely change trip to trip, so usually only the trip details and dates need updating.
Keep it ready for next time
The Travel Checklist turns this into a reusable template you can pull out for every future trip without starting from scratch.
This planner works well filled in by hand each time, but if travel with your cat becomes a regular thing — recurring vet visits, seasonal boarding, frequent moves — the Travel Checklist turns it into a reusable template, designed to be filled in fresh for every trip without rebuilding the packing list from memory each time.
If a trip is part of settling a new cat in rather than a one-off outing, the first 48 hours guide covers the home side of that transition, and the first-year cost breakdown is useful if a boarding stay is a new line item in the budget.
Kestlin creates practical, print-ready resources for first-time cat owners — guides, checklists, and trackers built around the questions people actually ask in a cat's first weeks and months at home.
